[Q] Baked in Apps - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

To bake in an app can i just add the signed .apk into system/app/ folder in the actual ROM. zip?
I want to be able to Flash the ROM and be able to have my mostly used apps in there already. Is this possible by just doing that or would it need more scripts for them to be baked in. Please help. I am a noob

Yes, most apps will work fine from there. Sounds like you are above the noob curve...lol.

Great. If that is the case, then I wish more ROM developers would bake TB right into their works!

Yeah I would pass on doing that. It would probably open the door to too many flamers. What would be good if you made a flashable that would just flash TB and anything else into CM9.

oh ok. i was about to do it xP. so i can just get an already flashable zip then delete its contents other than the Meta-INF and then make /system/app folder and place all the apps i want installed all at once in the /app folder?

aslo, if you know anything about xml files. How can i change the name of the app that is displayed? I believe its in the AndroidManifest.xml? If it is how can i edit it?
What EXACTLY is decompile? is it just another word for extracting?

That should work. Try to find one that mounts system otherwise you will have to mount system in CWM before flashing.

Randomking I think had another app but it boiled down to the same thing, same interface basically.

Nononono you don't need eclipse at all unless editing source code. You must use apk multi-tool. Eclipse is very useful but in this situation use apk multi-tool and notepad++

Oh ok, yea Im actually on zedo's v4 beta right now...what ROMs are deodexed if you dont mind sharing?...Let me asking you something, is it as easy as just deleting all the .odex files in the ROM in order for it to be deodexed?
Did you base this off ptfmedics's framework? I dumped your jar and compared it to my framework and there are 435 files that are changed. I know overscroll doesn't change that much so I am a little confused.

[THEME] ICS'ed framework files for Syndicate Ice 1.1

a few notes: all images were kanged from Overstew's ICS theme for Calkin's ROM.
I'm not a themer (hence the .apk files), but I love Jez2cool's Sydicate Ice ROM. So I took the images from Overstew's ICS theme and copied them to the appropriate Syndicate Ice 1.1 apks. No other changes were made.
Crap. Can't link to images (or the framework-res.apk (which is over 8megs) ) because I haven't posted enough. Ummm, bear with me here... Any suggestions on how to get link up?
Nice work! Hope to see more work from you... the locals are ravenous for more themes... I think if u post about 8 more posts throughout the threads you will be able to post that framework...
File is too big to post. Would love to get the mediafire link up for everyone tho.

Hey venum, do you happen to have an empty zip(with the updater script etc) available we could just throw these in to flash?(with like 7zip or something). Sure I could find one if I looked around but it'd be helpful to have one near the top of the thread

Lol sure. This is the stock eg30 theme. Keep in mind you will have to resign the zip to get it to run correctly after u add the apks (sorry if u already knew that... u can just delete the extra apks in it...)

yes that's all you need. If you want take a look at the updater script, in the Meta-infs/Google/com folder i believe? It'll have the language there needed to tell cwm what to do, think you don't want to use just a standard notepad app to write as it may fail.

Mass storage?

Thom75 said:
Hello Everyone,
Last time I faced with that problem to. All I was needed I found here so thank You for sharing information and fix. :good:
Because it wasn't working when I did changes in build.prop and I don't like flash unknown files (version, source)
I did some research and there is result. All what You need is:
1) change line in build.prop
from:
Code:
persist.sys.usb.config=mtp
to:
Code:
persist.sys.usb.config=mass_storage
2) add value:
Code:
android:allowMassStorage="true"
in framework-res.apk/res/xml/storage_list.xml
where oryginal line look like this:
Code:
<storage android:mountPoint="/storage/sdcard0" android:storageDescription="@string/storage_sd_card" android:primary="true" android:removable="true" android:maxFileSize="4096" />
after change look like this:
Code:
<storage android:mountPoint="/storage/sdcard0" android:storageDescription="@string/storage_sd_card" android:primary="true" android:removable="true" android:allowMassStorage="true" android:maxFileSize="4096" />
After that You'll get another option in storage configuration panel.
Tested on my Sony LwW, CM10 FXP203. :victory:

Rotating touchwiz?

So, after a few searches, both on Google and on the forums, I cannot find this mod.
Does anyone know of a stock touchwiz launcher, modified to rotate?
I hate it when my phone is in landscape on the table or something, and I have to work with a portrait launcher. But I like the stock touchwiz, and would like to keep it.
Any help would be appreciated.

Right, there's a bit of the top showing though, and I can still open the app.
Except for the one in the middle, because the page indicator is right there.
I would still prefer a modified launcher though.
But I'm using this until, hopefully, someday a modded touchwiz appears on the scene.
I remember I had one on my Galaxy s 4g.

How are you at custom work. In your framework-res.apk. decompile. Find /res/values/bools.XML. change "config_allowAllRotations" to true
Change "enableLockScreenRotation" to true.

How are you at custom work. In your framework-res.apk. decompile. Find /res/values/bools.XML. change "config_allowAllRotations" to true
Change "enableLockScreenRotation" to true.

If it is not too much to ask, Can you Please do this for us coz i need this for my phone too. right now i am using Apex Launcher but i would rather use TouchWiz. if you decompile it and then upload it here we would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance. i don't know anything about decompiling otherwise i would do it myself..
I'm on gs3. Can you upload a copy of yours?
Can you put it in dropbox? I can take a look after work.

I tried uploading my framework res. apk, but it's too big a file.
I'm trying to learn how to decompile, but my step daughter just took the computer from me, to talk to her grandma in Brazil.
I'm gonna try later though.
Thanks for your help.

Well, I'm a noob at decompiling.
So what I did was change the extension from framework-res.apk to .zip, and extract it.
In the /res/ folder there is no /values folder.
I've been searching for a bools.xml folder, but no luck.
Is this something that will only show by decompiling?
Or is the GN2 framework diferent from the GS3 one?
TIA
That would work to edit images. You need to use apktool (search it ) to decompile the file before you can edit those values. I will be home in about an hour if you can find somewhere to upload it i can take a look. However i believe if you look up apktool it will be pretty easy to do yourself. Just dont forgot to make a backup in case something goes off

Yeah, I've been following this guide, but I always get an error when decompiling.
Hmm, let me try a dropbox link.
Let me know if that was successful.
Thanks for all your help!
Modded framework
http://db.tt/8HUWcSFN
needs renamed because I'm lazy
Here is a flashable zip. Disregard it saying edge zoom. It's an old zip. It works on s3 may not be the right flasher for you but you can try it
http://db.tt/biIOIpUC
Oh yes also. I looked at the guide you are following and got lost. There are several quality guides on this site. Here is a good one for beginners

Thanks for all your trouble.
However, I got the file on your first link, renamed it to framework-res.apk, and copied it to system/framework.
As I started to get a lot of force closes, I did a reboot.
This resulted in an endless boot loop, which forced me to pull my battery, get into recovery, and restore my system.
So back to the drawing board, I guess.
I still appreciate all your help. Thanks for using your time to help a stranger. :thumbup:

I'm uploading a zip to replace the modded with the original. Try installing from recovery and if that still boot loops try fixing permissions. Only thing i changed was the bools.XML
If it still fails you should be able to use this remove zip

So, you're saying flash the the zip on the second link in your previous post.
And if that goes wrong, flash the zip on this latest post?
I'm at work right now, but I'll try later tonight.
Thanks.

Funny I'm just headed out to work. The first post has a zip to install screen rotating. The second post is your unmodified original framework so when you try the modified again. if it does not work, you can replace with the original file from the second post instead of having to wait through a full reset
That does seem odd. Maybe it's the flashable file. It was for my gs3. I've replaced them with the update scripts from a Galaxy note 2 package. They are the same download links as before. I verified that it is the modified file there. Was there any error? Did you verify that it actually copied the file? Easiest to tell by looking at the date it was modified. Its really not that great of a mod anyway. The constant rotation gets annoying and this method doesn't give a toggle. Still try the new zips and see if that makes the difference

Well, I flashed the ScreenRotation.Zip, and while nothing wrong happened, nothing happened at all! Everything is just normal, no screen rotation.
Bummer, huh?
